nerve shredding horror

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2003)

28 days later is an updated version of classic zombie films of many moons ago and it is worth popping your brain into neutral to enjoy this humdinger of a movie. Danny Boyle (trainspotting, shallow grave) returns to form with a streamline bullet of a film with a tale of fear and hope in an eerily empty London. I found the film had an energy not often seen in this genre, at times it was touching and beautiful whilst at other times Boyle goes to town with the spilling of claret throughout the cast. This is a film that would not disgrace your collection as it is quite unlike anything else released in years. Whilst it can't compete with the Matrix reloaded or the latest Bond it still is more powerful than both those films put together.
Worth seeing late at night for the sheer shock value, a small gem in a sea of rubbish movies.
